      I graduated! Here is a video of me walking across the stage (format:m4v 9.1MB). I think this format is just for a mac. I'll get more up soon.

      I passed my Ph.D. defense on Tuesday, April 14th. Here are my slides (45.8 MB).

CV Research Statement

About Me:

I am a Computer Science Ph.D. candidate at Harvard University graduating in June. My interests lie in AI. I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics in May of 2004. I received my Master of Science in Computer Science from Harvard in June 2006.
